People still "invest" in multi-level marketing stuff, so I'm not an optimist.

Have you seen this new coin? Have you read the white paper? It's a completely new scam^Wthing!

By "kill", I mean that it won't likely go mainstream mania, featured on CNBC etc. Not that it won't exist at all.

There's definitely another fool born every day

MLM never was any close to being this mainstream. Maybe in 1997 in Albania.

Herbalife, Amway, Avon, etc. all became pretty big, it just doesn't seem like that to most people in tech bc it's a different target market.

They were orders of magnitude from having 3 trillion market cap.

Market Cap really doesn't mean anything - if I buy a grain of sand for $1 suddenly sand has the largest market cap at $7,500,000,000,000,000,000.00
